About Image to Text (OCR)
Image to Text uses OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text in your images and turn it into editable text you can copy. It works with screenshots, scanned pages, photos of documents, receipts and more. Recognition runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.
How to use Image to Text (OCR)
- Upload, drop or paste (Ctrl+V) an image.
